Looks like a great car, quite authentic in all respects. It does have a timer, the battery goes in the box under the seat left side, and the coil goes in the lower box underneath the battery box. If it has a compression release pedal (right side heel panel) it should have a serial number stamped on it. I don't see a gas pedal on the floor, might get one from Monroe Miller. The big problem is, I don't see a drive chain and it is not availiable. It is an obsolete size. The late Gary Hoonsbeen was a great help, also someone was remaking them but I don't remember who.. The oiling is simple, there is a lubricator on the cylinder, take it off clean it and adjust it to 10 drops per minute and you are in business. The engine is a total loss system so the excess oil just leaks out..
